What Is The Most Expensive Gadget You Own?

Gadgets are expensive. It’s inescapable. You’re going to have to plunk down some cash for a really killer piece of kit. Sometimes it’s not worth it. But other times you wind up with essentially a digital life parter — a gadget you’re in physical contact with more often than you are with your loved ones, probably.

So what’s your most expensive gadget — computer, camera….phone? And was it massively worth the investment, or just a tragic miscalculation?

Large Wacom Cintiq digitiser tablet. Worth 3k+, essential bit of kit for a digital artistt, also decent resale value because they last.
One of my PCs was almost 5K all up... but that was a few years ago, probably worth zero now.

I have to say that my oboe trumps all the rest of my gadgets, including electronic ones on price at $4k. And the great thing is, they don't go obsolete. However, I am a student, so I haven't had to actually buy any of these things with my own money.

Nop. Mac Pro is amazingly average. Check out the actual hardware used, most of it is years old, and not powerful enough for high end gaming. For example the graphics cards are Radeon 5000 series (late 2009), where as the current Radeon's are at 7000 series (early 2012) soon to be replaced by 8000 series. I would love a Mac Pro, but not for gaming.
The closest Mac Pro to my gaming PC costs about 50% more for about 50% less performance (comparable parts not available).
Not to mention the fact that there's still a lack of availability in high end games for Mac.
And the iMac's are even worse, as they use laptop parts, to fit in that tiny casing.

Honda CB 900 Hornet. ( I don't care who says it counts or not, it's MY most expensive gadget)
With electronic everything on board it qualifies as a gadget as far as I'm concerned
I can reprogram the fuel injection routines via a USB cable from my laptop too.
About $12,000.

My wife. Price - too scared to work it out. She's currently in for some repair work, getting a metal plate screwed to her ankle to keep it together. Add that to the metal in her knee and I'm sure she counts as a gadget, though she has the advantage of being sentient (most of the time).
